Well after all the deaths the PS2 caused, you know powerful enough to launch missles and shit. Looks like Sony have turned over a new leaf, looks like the PS3 is powerful enough to save the world......

10,000 of them = 4 times as powerful as the IBM BlueGene/L

WOW!!! Why don't they just hook up four of the supercomputers?

What a load of codswabble

The PS3 has a powerful processor known as a "cell", which will run up to 10 times faster than current PC chips.

Um, it probably is up to 10x faster for certain operations...

And boo-hoo, they've got a folding@home app running on it, so what, why get shitty?

I don't see how they can claim its 10x as fast. The theoretical performance of most P4s at the same clock will hit at least 1/3 the theoretical performance of a Cell chip.
